QUOTE(irenic @ Dec 25 2010, 12:02 AM) all rite, it's normal for stuffs today to be made of plastic. plastic also has level of toughness and durability. the most important thing is, does the hinge on desire z is loose that looks like a defect? FOR goodness sake I don't know how many times I've said that it's NOT A DEFECT. I don't even need to adapt the way I hold it the way DJFoo just demonstrated ... and I doubt you'll ever have to unless you decide you want to text while lying down This post has been edited by spunkberry: Dec 25 2010, 09:57 PM |

I've been using Desire Z for one month. Even though the hinge is quite loose, it NEVER pose a problem to me even if it's in my pocket.

QUOTE(DJFoo000 @ Dec 25 2010, 03:20 PM) i dunno how many times i've mentioned this, but HTC specifically replied to SlashGear that the stiffness of the spring in the hinge was a design intent. http://www.slashgear.com/htc-desire-z-review-02111799/A flawed design? Maybe, but definitely not something they are going to change. There're tutorials in XDA about taking the hinge apart and stiffening the spring, if you're interested :-) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Anyway, for normal ppl normally you'll hold like this:  but you'll adapt to hold it like this:  then the hinge won't have problem:  And normally ppl don't play with their phone while having it inclined to the vertical like that. It hurts the eye. The hinge won't open without external forces that easily one. the 2nd method of holding desire z is the way everyone should hold a slide phone.. i dunno.. but that's the way i hold my tytn2, n900 and milestone in the past.. so i guess it's more to problem with people looking for perfection rather than problem from the phone itself.

To all DZ owners, have you all received the 1.72.405.2 system update? It says it has camera features and system improvement but I don't see any much difference though.  But that update cripple my swype and I have to reinstall it twice only it's back to functioning -.-" Oh ya but obviously, it's not gingerbread update  The android version is only updated to 2.2.1.

lol just restart the GPS. Or reboot the phone. Or wait a while longer. It took longer to get a lock on my phone today too.
Not gonna get the 1.72 update coz i'm on CM 6.1.1. Do not update if you intend to root the phone coz currently 1.72 is unrootable.

go download GPS Test. See if it detects any surrounding satelites. Just tried GPS Test, got a coordinate lock within 20 seconds, in my room.

^no it won't solve your problem. It will tell you if the GPS chip is detecting any satellites. If it's not, then got prob. If can detect, then you might want to let it run a while to get a lock.

I let my phone sit in front of my room window and hope that it sync...ALAS.. after 15 mins! i am seeing sunshine again.. Thank you thank you!! |

I really don't know what's the fun with Quadrant scores, but Overclocked to 1.2Ghz  Average 22 FPS when rendering the double helix Tuned back to 800Mhz  Average 16 FPS when rendering the double helix The increase in score is about the Quadrant score of an X10... Any sifus passing by can tell about processor profiling? Using CPU Tuner. Want to save battery when screen off and have better performance when playing games.

Purchased Desire Z at Sunway Pyramid Maxis Roadshow Thursday 16th Dec 2010 morning. Was Customer #1 on that day. the promoters didn't even have the spec sheet for Desire Z yet. 1st time experience with Android, not as idiot proof as Iphone4. I prefer the Android for the widgets and range of settings possible. Also ability to download and install apks. only -ve comment is that the Desire Z heats up when using Wifi. And I still need to learn how to extend battery life.
